D: On a two-lane two-way highway, a car A was following a truck B and both were travelling at a speed of 40 kmph. While looking for an opportunity to overtake the truck, the driver of a car a saw another car C coming from the opposite direction. a that moment, the distance betwen A and C was 450 m. After an initial hesitation period of 2 seconds, the driver of car A started the overtaking operation. The distance between A and B at the instant was 30 m. A overtook B by accelerating at a uniform rate of 1.20 ms 2. When the overtaking operation was completed, there was a distance of 25 m between B and A. Determine the distance between different vehicles given as measured from the front bumber of the one vehicle to the front bumber of the another vehicle. Design speed of the highway is 80 kmph.

A driver is traveling at 45 mi/h and has a perception-reaction time of 3 seconds. A deer is spotted at a distance of 380 ft ahead and the driver is able to come to a stop just before hitting the deer. Assuming practical stopping distance, what is the grade of the road in percent?
Car A is traveling at a location where the speed limit is 100 km/h. The police officer in car P observes this speed via radar. The driver of car A is traveling at vÃ = 122 km/h as it passes P, but over the next 4.1 seconds, the car uniformly decelerates to the speed limit of 100 km/h, and after that the speed limit is maintained. At the moment when A passes P, the police car begins to accelerate at the constant rate of 4.0 m/s² until a speed of 164 km/h is achieved, and that speed is then maintained. Determine the distance s required for the police officer to overtake car A. Answer: s= i VA 248.52 P m
A traffic stream is moving at a steady state when entering a mountain grade. Upon entering the grade, the speed, density and flow are 72 km/h, 25 veh/km and 1800 veh/hr respectively. On the grade, a truck drops to a speed of 15 km/h causing traffic to bunch up to a density of 85 veh/km. When the truck pulls over, traffic accelerates to the maximum flow until steady state flow conditions resume. Calculate (a) the flow of traffic behind the truck on the mountain grade (b) the jam density and free flow speed for this road (c) the density and speed when traffic resumes a steady state flow (d) the maximum flow
